considering that gnome just deprecated X11, i have a weird feeling that my life is about to get even harder and more painful, unless I choose to conform to one of the mainstream ideal linux GUIs

wayland will be the thing which finally kills all the small WMs that still remain. I consider that to be a cultural disaster.

@domi i wonder if it would be possible to run wayland applications on something like wayback. would likely require incredible levels of hacks to convince xwayland that the windows are x11

@artemist i thought that wayback supported wayland windows natively, wasn鈥檛 that part of the point?

@domi @artemist apparently no, i wondered that myself too. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayback/wayback/-/issues/61#note_3091873

It still makes sense to use tho, graphics drivers aren't written to keep x11 in mind and that side of x11 has been bitrotting for quite some time, this way x11 components keep functioning and wont suddenly break with an update in the future. https://www.golem.de/news/wayland-asahi-linux-warnt-vor-nutzung-von-x11-2305-174170.html
